One of Mitt Romney's homes?

This is just one reason (among so many) that the Romney campaign was so terrible. Couldn't they have at least paired the graphic that says "Make calls from HOME" — one that emphasizes the word HOME, no less — with a phone that at least looks like it's ever been in a home?

These phones look like the ones I've had in newsrooms. And I never had two together. Hardly anyone I know had more than one home landline when landline phones were that common, much less now. And I'd imagine that even in a phone bank, the phones would be farther apart. So where exactly is this supposed to be? To whom is it meant to appeal?
